Very disappointing Given its early OS grosses has been good at best, it's not surprising, it's clearly not clicking with audiences like previous Illumination films. The UK release is in January and I'm expecting it'll do very well but it faces competition from The Lego Batman Movie which I think will do similar numbers to The Lego Movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 I'm pretty much shocked about Sing, that could become Illumination's first bomb in Brazil, didn't expect that at all.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know why audiences don't seem to be appealed? I didn't follow what happened with Sing so I'd be interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Wow, very weak weekend. Rogue One fell 80%+ in local currency, Sing is a real failure with less than $1m (Pets got $5m). Only a local comedy did relatively well with $2.5m, and it's not huge. Understandable, it was Xmas in the largest Christian country in the world. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbuster Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) About 2 months ago I've made very optimistic predictions for movies in USD, at a time when the exchange rate was improving fast...Of course things changed and the ER worsened not long after that, particularly since Trump's election. I still expect the ER to improve next year thanks to an economy getting out of a terrible recession and growing very slowly instead, but a new political crisis could easily destroy that hope. My new predictions for next year will be made with a more realistic exchange rate, improving but still at a crippling level : $1 = R$3 (now it is $1 = R$3.4 so that would mean an improvement : +10%) but I hope for a much better ER that's for sure. But at least it's much better than in January 2016 when $1 = R$4..It was so high that reaching $10m was very difficult to reach for the huge majority of movies, a disaster. I hope we can reach 2012 levels someday or close to that..it was $1 = R$1.8 or so Edited December 27, 2016 by Fullbuster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 The ER finally started to give positive signs, the Brazilian currency gaining almost 5% this week, to reach $1 = R$3.27. Let's hope that will go on, 2017 would start on a strong footing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
